TELL ME ON A SUNDAY

“Pierce’s striking set design is a series of diminishing, proscenium-like frames leading to a staircase and an infinite backdrop. The Manhattan skyline gives way to the Hollywood sign and palm trees as Emma’s amorous adventures go bi-coastal [...] The set also augments Ripley’s performance in more subtle ways. For instance, when she arrives in America and sings her first, hopeful tune, the skyline features fabled Gotham buildings; but when her idealized vision gives way to harsh reality, we see a rundown, industrial landscape.”
